Sutopar Thikana (Her Own Address) is all set to be released in multiple countries across the globe.
The film that depicts the dependency of a South Asian woman at various stages of life will be released in Malaysia on March 3 on the occasion of the International Women’s Day to be observed on March 8.
Before the countrywide release, the movie will be screened twice on March 2 at a theatre in Golden Screen Cinemas located in Kuala Lumpur’s Mid Valley.
Sutopar Thikana, the first feature film to have received government grant in Bangladesh, was submitted to the censor board after the producer and the Malaysian distributor officially signed the contract on February 19.
Upon receiving official censorship from the censor board of Malaysia, the feature film will be released in four multiplex halls of the famous Golden Screen Cinemas in Malaysia: the Mid Valley, Pavilion, 1 Utama in Petaling Jaya and Gurney Plaza in Penang.
After the commercial release, Sutopar Thikana will be shown in two television channels of Malaysia and Brunei.
Sutopar Thikana, directed by independent film-maker Proshoon Rahman, who assisted late Tareque Masud on a few projects, is a screen adaptation of the book titled, Ishhorer Ichhe Nei Boley, written by the director himself.
The government-grant winning project was released in a few theatres in Dhaka on May 8, last year, on the occasion of Mother’s Day.
After the premiere, the film was shown in 12 districts and seven universities.
Sutopar Thikana was also screened simultaneously in 64 districts in the country during the Bangladesh Film Festival organised by Shilpakala Academy in December last year.
